Bucky and April Perry have been members of the Southern Foods at Home family for a little over a year. In that time, they have made some major lifestyle changes and have reaped dra-matic results. In the past, Bucky and April found themselves eating out more often or grabbing something on the go and noticed that their health, not to mention their wallets, were paying the price. The biggest changes they’ve seen have included less trips to the grocery store each week, eating at home six times per week because they “actually like the food,” and together, they have lost more than 100 pounds! For Bucky alone, his yearly physical in 2016 reflected the age of a 48 -49 year old, while this November, in less than a year, Bucky’s physical reflected the estimat-ed age of a 38 year-old and he is 43! He reduced his physical age assessment by a DECADE! They feel that “more than anything, it’s as cheap or cheaper than going to the store, much more convenient, tastes so much better and helps [them] feel better.” When asked what it was about our service that helped make them successful, they attribute much of their success to our por-tion control, convenience, quality, variety and taste, as well as how quickly everything is ready to prepare. Due to the 100% satisfaction guarantee on every item provided, they have been more adventurous in trying new items and have found that they are able to increase the variety of items on hand to keep from getting in a rut. Congratulations on your incredible success, Bucky and April! We are honored to be a part of your journey to better health!

Healthy Living

Volume 1 | 2018

As a new year begins, millions around the world embark on a resolution to better their health. While many equate health with body weight, it goes much deeper. Overall health is comprised of not only the external things that can be seen, but deeper, at a cellular level. The old saying, “you are what you eat,” is true on many levels. Every 28 days, your skin replaces itself. Your liver, every 5 months. Your bones, 10 years. Your body makes these new cells from the food

you consume. What you eat literally becomes you. Each meal is a chance to nourish your body and provide the nutrients needed for daily function. Food can change your mood, your mental clarity, your physical strength and endurance and long- term health. While you can eat many

filling foods, as long as your body is starving from a nutritional standpoint, your body will remain hungry for those specific nutrients. While making your food and beverage choices this year, be sure to keep this information in mind and rest assured that the food you’re eating from Southern

Foods at Home is an excellent foundation on which to build.

Jeff Albert Certified Professional Life Coach & Wellness Consultant.

During the month of January, you may find yourself asking should I make another New Years reso-lution. According to studies * 40 – 45% of Americans make at least 1 resolution every year. Within 6 months of making this resolution only 46 % of us have kept this commitment. We in the coaching profession are looked to be agents of change, however it is our passion and duty to create the envi-ronment for the client to determine what that change is, how it will unfold, and if it is going to be long lasting. The most important factor within the coaching alliance is to assist our client to move forward while honoring exactly where they are now as absolutely right and perfect in the process. Realizing certain objectives within our lives does not mean that what, where, or who we are now is wrong. I would like to make the case for the necessary steps to long lasting and continued growth for all areas of our lives. We live in a culture where we judge ourselves by our productivity, or how well we per-form. This is determined by our consumption, or how much stuff we accumulate. This is the materi-alistic model, which is an outside in model and obviously does not lead to happiness. This is derived from the myth that when the external features of life line up for us, we will be happy. What we need is a model for happiness that is derived from an internal mechanism or an inside out process. I would like to propose a model for long term consistent change. In this model change and growth never ceases, there is no need for New Year resolutions as it is a continual ongoing process. In addition, all decision-making is driven by 9 integral components: Forgiveness Allowing Gratitude Uncondi-tional Love Intuition Accountability Service Faith Valuable Work.

Mastering these components will bring all of us the significant radical change we desire. In fact, the failure to do so will only delay our realizing our goal. Whatever your vision, dream, or goal; these are the stepping-stones to their realization. Invest time exploring them and you will reap dividends that you never dreamed of.

Live Passionately,Coach Jeff Albert

New Year’s Resolutions vs. Real Change

Trainers TipsForm vs weight: Let’s address the age-old question of which is more important and why. While it is true, the only way to add muscle mass is by lifting heavier weights, the potential for injury is greatly

increased when proper form is not adhered to. When lifting heavy weight, the body can become mis-aligned, which causes strain on tendons, muscles and joints. In addition, proper form ensures that the intended muscle group is being trained, rather than accessory muscle groups. By maintaining

proper form, over time, you will have greater strength, less chance of injury and greater functionality.*Always consult with your doctor prior to beginning a new exercise routine.
